FRONT PAGE

An article on Tuesday about President Trump’s decision to reject new sanctions against Russia, relying on information provided by a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security, referred incorrectly to an increase of Russian online trolling activity that occurred around the time the United States launched airstrikes against Syria. The increase was noted among Russian hashtags, not bots. Additionally, the information should not have been attributed to the department’s spokesman, Tyler Q. Houlton.

BUSINESS DAY

An article on Tuesday about the 2018 Pulitzer Prizes misspelled the surname of the editor of pictures for Reuters. He is Ahmad Masood, not Maood.

•

An article on Tuesday about a Senate bill that would have exempted businesses on tribal lands from federal labor standards misstated how many more votes were needed to end a filibuster blocking a package of bills that included the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act. The number was five, not six.

SPORTS

An article on Tuesday about the results of the Boston Marathon misidentified the runner who said, “I was in third or fourth, and I thought, ‘I probably shouldn’t drop out.’” It was Desiree Linden, not Shalane Flanagan. Ms. Linden went on to win the women’s race.

THE ARTS

A review on Saturday about the Massenet opera “Cendrillon” referred incorrectly to the history of the word “carosse,” which means royal coach. It is an archaic French word, not a word from the Old French language.

OBITUARIES

An obituary on Monday about the filmmaker Milos Forman misstated where he shot the film “Amadeus.” It was Czechoslovakia — not the Czech Republic, which did not exist until 1993, nine years after “Amadeus” was released. The obituary also referred incorrectly to Mr. Forman’s biological father. He moved from Czechoslovakia to Ecuador, not Peru, but he was not living in South America when Mr. Forman found him in the 1960s; he had moved again, to New York, in 1945.

•

An obituary on Tuesday about the actor R. Lee Ermey described incorrectly an action by Mr. Ermey’s character, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, in the film “Full Metal Jacket.” Sgt. Hartman punches a recruit in the gut; he does not knee him in the groin.
